Unfortunately music seems to be the Uk's only powerful export product.

In that regards, America kind of finish the English off in virtually every other industry.
But hey as long as the spice girls are making tunes, who cares ;)

Garage was actually invented in new york city. but the UK brought it into the mainstream and has truelly made the genre succesful.
